So, basically, I've done a stupid thing, I attempted to install Cyanogen, forgetting to enable USB debugging, and it didn't go too well, all I can do now is use Clockwork Recovery as there is no ROM on the phone, I'm not sure if there's anyway I can enable USB debugging and flash it via USB, with Odin, but whenever I try to flash via .zip through Clockworkmod Recovery I either get the status 7 error, or if I take steps to get rid of that the installation just aborts, any ideas on what I can do?
There is also a possiblity I installed Clockwork Recovery for the 3G edition, whereas I have the LTE edition of the phone, I'm not sure if that'll have contributed to the downfall of my smartphone adventures
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

hi,
first of all, dont worry for that. its not really a brick.
reboot your device to download mode (press vol-down, home and power buttons)
install philz_touch_5.18.2-i9195.tar.md5 - 7.08 MB via odin and restart to your phone to philz recovery. (press vol-up, home and power button, if you see samsung logo release power button)
then install cm rom and reboot. if you dont have any rom file in your storage, then copy rom zip file to your external sdcard via your pc and put external card again to your phone and reboot recovery and try install your rom from external card. this recovery is for lte variant of s4 mini.
i hope you get your phone working again and tell me if it works
I can't use Odin to detect my phone, it just doesn't show up :c
There is another solution.
first - get philz recovery zip file for lte variant and extract it. (get it here http://d-h.st/qdn) open updater-script and remove this code and save file.(that installer will not stop because your device is show him you have 3g variant but you have lte one so simply remove this code and save file to your zip)
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "serranolte"
|| getprop("ro.build.product") == "serranolte");
make zip file and copy it to your sdk folder and install it via adb sideload. (google it when you dont know how to install with sideload)
after this you should have right recovery.
then install your rom with sideload and reboot.
Yeah, that did fix it, I now however have the issue of my Wifi won't turn on and I cannot install things as it states that there isn't enough storage space available, which there is, there is also 4.62 Gb used in my Misc files and nothing is listed as even close to that size, so my phone isn't particularly better off ¬.¬ But thanks for your help
Got all of the problems sorted now, for the storage space thing, I had to remove my external SD card and just go on a formatting blitz after reinstalling Clockworkmod and the wifi required a modded kernel to be installed
Hi can someone help me, I have the same issue as Tobiscuits. The link no longer worked but I managed to get the file needed for recovery Odin doesn't see my phone so I can't recover to stock that way I'm guessing USB debugging is off I'm stuck on the Odin mode screen everytime my phone starts. I'm new to this what do I do with the recovery zip I have, it's on my pc atm

Have you installed latest Samsung drivers? Or try reinstall/update them, from Samsung website?
(in the past some people had to uninstall the Samsung sync software & it's drivers first if it had already been installed on PC, ie smartswitch/kies)
You must reboot PC between each operation above & check Samsung drivers uninstalled in program list (assuming Windows). Reboot after install as well.
Update to TWRP after fixed.

Hi thanks for replying, yes I installed Samsung usb drivers still doesn't recognise my device, I do have the same phone again and that works but that phone doesn't recognise on Odin or pc either maybe it's a cable issue or USB driver issue like you said. I'm pretty new to all this but TWRP is the recovery zip right? When I try factory reset it goes through the motions then nothing happens goes back to Odin mode automatically.i should mention I uninstalled magisk before my phone decided to not boot back up I'm guessing I uninstalled it wrong. I'll try uninstalling the Samsung drivers and reinstalling.

Hey everyone. I know there are already a few threads with boot loop animations, and am having difficulties finding the same situation as what I'm going through. Here is what the phone used to have before it randomly started looping:
Rooted - with Stock rom, using ClockwordMod Recovery 5.5.0.2
Used Go Launcher Theme ( if that even matters )
No additional roms installed or anything, the phone is 3 months old.
Ok here is where I'm stuck. I understand I should reflash somethings like recovery image or something, but I'm stuck with one big problem. My computer and phone don't recognize using the USB mount.
The message I get is called "Unable to open lunfile ( no such file or directory)
Here's what screens I can get to:
1. Hold vol up/down while holding power ( the little android with its belly open, and the options Start - Restart Bootloader - Recovery mode - Power Off )
2. Hold vol down - ODIN mode, with the START option only
I can access WMD recovery and factory reset, Try to install my old backup, nothing works at all in that area, no matter what I do.
Can someone advise me a step by step way of getting my computer to recognize my phone, so that I am able to do fastboot, or reflash, or anything to get my phone working again. I can't access my internal memory at all.
It's even possible that I've read too much, and my frustration is getting in the way, if so I apologize! Some guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance of course! I need my phone for business!
Cheers,
Install the drivers on a computer then use fastboot oem unlock. Or just factory reset it from within recovery.

Try my siggy.
I'm not sure about the exact error:
But the link there will get you the correct drivers.
Also, as stated...try to factory reset.
You'll lose your apps/data that way though =/
Hopefully you can get the driver installed and get your computer to recognize.
If so, follow this to back up your apps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420351
Have exactly the same setup as you (rooted/stock/CWM) and had the animation bootloop - animation would just loop until a battery pull.
Only thing that solved it was a factory reset from recovery. Been working fine for the 4 weeks since. No need for any reflashing etc. Titanium recoveries have all worked fine as well. Didn't try my Nandroid backup as I thought that may still have the 'fault' built in.
I had a boot loop for every from I tried to flash...wat fixed it was before flashing u need to wipe system data and wipe the cache in the recovery...ie a clean install...then every rom I tried worked...so I think ur missing that crucial step coz it worked for me

Hey guys, as stated above I've done numerous factory resets, it still seems to boot. I will for sure try to get the drivers installed so my phone is recongised by the computer, but would need step-by-step assistance when doing fastboot, or whatever the next step is.
Looking for more help though! Keep em coming!
?
Any other ideas?
Thanks!
Ok guys, so here's where I'm at now. I've used Jubakuba's sticky link, located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529058
Everything is able to be recognized up to the point where it says "Put the su.zip on your phone."
Since I cannot access my phone contents, since I keep getting this "Unable to open lunfile ( no such file or directory), it does not allow me to add anything to my phone.
I re-installed CWD as stated in the list of things to do, and all that went well. But I have the same issue, I tried factory resetting all that. erase cache, and still stuck with the same issue.
What's my next step now peeps? Looking for a quick answer as I have time to do it tonight!
Edit***
Just tried this trick: but it says it does not recognize the device?? what is going on! Please help someone! Thanks!
Panic Section! (Something is Wrong)
Q: My phone won't boot!
A: The easiest option is to get into recovery and restore a nandroid using the above guide (pull battery to put phone in an off-state if needed).
However, more advanced options are available if you don't have a nandroid available (You're naughty).
Do you have another rom .zip available on your SD card? If so, simply use the above guide for installing a rom to get you booting again.
If not, you can download one on your PC. Boot into fastboot (the green Android with open chest menu).
Move the .zip to the C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools folder.
Open ADB.
Change the NAMEOFZIP.zip below to the correct file name...and perform the action.
Surely your computer recognizes your phone. Otherwise how were you able to unlock the bootloader and flash the recovery?
And I've never seen that error message before. It doesn't even make any sense to me. Where are you seeing it? On your phone or on your computer? And in what context? What are you trying to do when it shows up?
If your phone isn't booting I'm not sure that you can copy any files to it yet. (Maybe you can use adb in clockworkmod? I'm not sure) What I do know you can do is flash the stock ROM and start over.
Download the image from Google here:
http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html
Here's a instructions for the GSM version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366806
For the Verizon version, I can't find the thread at the moment but you just replace the filenames and also there's 2 radios to flash so:
fastboot flash radio *filename*
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio-cmda *filename*
"Unable to open lunfile ( no such file or directory) appears on the phone, in CWD mode, when trying to attempt "mount Usb" to be able to access my internal storage .
I am attempting your thoughts right now.
I will post with results
Ok I tried to do this step. This is the outcome I received on the computer after even typing the first step:
'fastboot-windows' is not recognized as aninternal or external command, operable program or batch file.
A thing to stress, I'm not sure how to do step 1: 1) Take a Nandroid Backup if you have CWM installed.

GREAT NEWS!
used this setup!

Hi everybody,
sorry for bothering you, but I think I might need some help.
I tried to flash ParanoidAndroid (first try ever to flash a smartphone) but failed 'somehow'.
Initial steps to create the problem
Initial Status: Gingerbread on a Galaxy W; Pretty old and pretty messed up
Download the update.zip to root the smartphone => Becoming root worked!
Download ParanoidAndroid
Download Clockwork Recovery
Created backups using Titanium Backup as root.
Copied ParanoidAndroid to the GalaxyWs internal sd card (yes, this was my mistake)
Wipe cach partition => It said, it worked, I don't know if it did
Rebooted phone => all fine
Rebooted into recovery mode applied update from SD-Card=> Selected ParanoidAndroid.zip => ErrorMessage (I think it was something like file corrupt, sorry I'm not sure about the specific words, but it sounded like this is no updatefile or this file is not a valid zip file.
Status of the problem
Bootup shows Samsung Logo
Bootup than shows GalaxyW-Screen Logo
Bootup than shows the android recovery symbol OR directly reboots
When trying to open the recovery menu, every second time I get the message "Updating (...) Installing MultiCSC... Can't access /system/csc/DBT/system"
If opening recovery menu works, I can only acces the internal storage of the galaxy to install an update (tried the paranoidandroid several times, it doesn't work)
When plugging in the galaxy w to my USB port, I don't get an USB storage shown on my 2 laptops (1 "Windows 7", 1 "Ubuntu 14.0?" )
neither odin (4.43) nor Heimdall are able to flash any files.
So, simple question, what can I do next?
-I cannot copy clockworkmod to my smartphone
-I don't know if I can easily overwrite the kernel or the bootloader.
I searched the forum but didn't find a clear solution, so sorry if this special configuration was already asked.
Thanks for your help and best regards

Your ROM's download has been cut either by a connection issue or by you, That is why I always have a backup rom in my SD Card. Also For kitkat, make sure you got CWM 6.0.4.5 or higher. Personally i use PhilZ Touch Recovery. It is simple enough for me. And odin recognizes your phone only in download mode. So make sure you go to download mode then plug the phone in. And also make sure while working with odin, unplug all USBs and other phones
Hey MayB4ck,
thank you for the tips, I finally got it running Using Philz Touch Recovery. Works like hell
Best regards

Hey XDA Members
I know there has already been similar posts to mine on XDA as I've worn out the search button on google trying to find a solution to my problem, with no avail. So I thought I would leave a description of my own situation and see if a more tech-savvy individual could kindly help me out...
So yesterday I decided it would be a good idea to unlock my bootloader & root my device simply because I wanted to remove all the bloatware which HTC 'generously' crammed into the One X. Unlocking the bootloader was simple enough following the instructions provided. However, rooting my handset was not so effortless. The root was ineffective & I got stuck with yet another unwanted app called SuperSU! (An error message regarding missing binary codes appeared every time I tried to open the application) I tried uninstalling via both settings & google play before finally factory resetting my phone. None of these methods worked
At this point it suddenly dawned on me someone so unenlightened in the art of software development or anything android related shouldn't being toying with stuff he can't afford to break! But I figured it was too late to turn back now and continued in my moment of intellectual darkness...
In my bewildered state I accidentally 'wiped system' using CWM and now I have no iOS. My HTC will only boot until the 'quietly brilliant' slogan appear's & no further. When I connect my phone to my computer via USB I can not access the removable storage device, a removable disk appears but when clicked I am prompted to 'insert removable disk'. I am lead to believe from reading related threads that if I had access to my phones storage then installing a new iOS would be relatively straight forward. Also trying to mount in CWM just retrieves an error message reading 'CWM unable to open ums lunfile (no such directory exists)'. Where do I go from here?
Any help would be much appreciated :fingers-crossed:
Flash a newer recovery, try the latest Philz touch recovery then you should be able to mount sdcard and flash a rom
Hope it helps
if tthe above suggestion doesnt work, try this
http://www.hackmyandroid.com/comprehensive-guide-on-unbricking-the-htc-one-x/4216
I recommend you flash the latest TWRP recovery since it gives you access to the phones sdcard, if your staying stock/near stock OS you can check http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.com/p/android-revolution-hd-mirror-site-var.html download the Download stock odexed 4.18.401.3, and just flash it in recovery or you can download w.e custom OS you like and flash it the same
Hope it helps
Thank you both for your replies :good:
m.jordan, I tried to flash TWRP onto my device (3 different versions in fact) but once entering recovery mode I was prompted to 'swipe screen to unlock' which wasn't possible because I can only use the volume controls and the power button. After that I downloaded the latest version of CWM which enables me to both use the control buttons & touch screen. I downloaded the 'stock odexed 4.18.401.3' although I have no way of flashing on my device...
I tried the method in the link you kindly provided and followed each instruction carefully. After re-unlocking my bootloader (does it matter whether the device is locked or unlocked when mounting USB storage in recovery mode?) & flashing CWM I downloaded the odexed 4.18.401.3 extracted boot.img & flashed that too. On the website you shared it then prompted me to 'mount usb storage' & my device should now be showing as 'clockworkmod' so I would be able to place the odexed 4.18.401.3.zip into the folder and then flash my handset. Unfortunately I still have no removable disks showing on my PC
My HTC One X does not have removable storage (I suppose you already knew that) & I havn't been able to get my PC to read a removable disk since the day I wiped the system.
If only I could get my computer to show an 'adb device' I'm sure this would be so much easier! I don't suppose you would know anything about that? when I use cmd prompt 'adb device' most of the time it just returns:
adb out of date. killing...
daemon started sucessfully
list of attached devices
Nothing ever shows under attached devices
Nogotaclue, my next step it to try Philz recovery & see where that takes me, i'll let you know how that goes (Although I fear it will just have the same outcome as the rest & not be able to read an sdcard)
Thanks again
well it seems if you could follow the steps on that link, then your pc is recognizing the device so there is hope. If TWRP isnt working then cool. On either the CWM or Philz there is an option called adb sideload rom, if you can't access your SD card you can always sideload and install the rom using either One_X_All-In-One_Kit or WinDroid Universal HTC Toolkit v1.1, made them available here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/fv9fun4x2c4dk2l/AABhNHvlpPUvDXUWYK5PJNhpa?dl=0
Once in recovery I believe its under the install option, you have the option to install rom from sdcard and sideload rom, just select sideload. once thats done, open either the all in one or windroid with your device connected to your pc (i recommend the all in one), select the option to sideload, and cross your fingers that it works

NO ONE?????
ODIN --> Flash Stock Recovery (AP) with NAND Erase All Option Checked (because it seemed to make sense) + Auto Reboot + F. Time Reset --> Reboots to Stock Recovery (did not work before) --> Reboot into Recovery --> Wipe Data/Cache and Dalvik just to be safe (this crashed it before) --> Reboot. THE END
TL/DR: I am currently stuck on recovery/update mode. Any attempt to wipe data or clear dalvik crashes it. any attempt to access data through TWRP crashes it. Flashing stock rom or custom rom does not help. Somethings wrong with /data? It thinks it has root from the CF Auto Root, but does not really? Something wrong with partitions? Should I wipe the nand with ODIN 3.10? Repartition? ugh ... Please help ...
I have searched the forums and found nothing that describes this issue precisely. I have also tried to apply various suggestions to repair, which, for the most part seems to have made it worse. I am hoping that people still look at this forum.
PC - Windows 7
Initially @4.2.2 ---> Touchwiz debloated stock ROM which I rooted. It worked for a couple years, but the device crashed frequently. I do not recall much about the installation, but believe that I used CWM/TWRP at the time. After installing the ROM, I ran triangle away (out of the box, it had 4.1.2, i recall)
I decided to upgrade to the most recent stock ROM (4.4.2). In order to do so, I used an easy installer I found else where on XDA. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2773712 ---ODIN One Click exe). The device was not initially recognized, so I reinstalled the official driver package (said that they already existed, but I installed again anyway). Ran 1-click and it appeared to work.
Initially, the device booted (long startup) and seemed to function. It also preserved all data and programs (presumably did not touch the internal memory - 16 GB) and possibly root /data.
I then tried to root through most recent ODIN with CF auto root. This appeared to work and rebooted (again, showing the updating android apps screen before fully booting).
The only thing that i could find that had changed was the wallpaper (showed on lock screen but not on home screen). I could no longer find the image, so tried to go to /data/data to find it with root explorer equivalent. This is where it started to act weird.
NOTE: I did not clear anything (system cache, etc. at any point)<--a lie (see below)
It showed the root folder fine, but when I clicked on /data it took a while and could not access it. It either rebooted itself or I rebooted, but this time it was stuck in a boot logo loop. I entered download mode and flashed TWRP through ODIN. I set it to not reboot automatically so that the bootloader was not overwritten automatically (thus losing recovery). TWRP came up. The computer recognized it as a Media Device after I mounted USB storage. Just in case, I copied all of the important files from the internal SD Card to my computer. I then tried to go to the file explorer to copy the wall paper and it forced a reboot. At this point it was stuck on a logo screen boot loop again. I was able to enter Download mode and reflash TWRP. This allowed me to enter recovery again, however, now it would only boot directly into recovery (or Download mode if I did the button combo). The interesting thing was that it would reboot two or three times before successfully entering TWRP.
I believe I tried to reflash the stock ROM at this point, which might have worked but made no difference.
I was also having a lot of problems getting Windows to properly recognize the device. I had to reinstall the drivers a couple times. I tried Kies after the problems started and it tried to connect by failed. The diagnose connection did not work either. I was not able to get Kies to connect though I tried several times throughout the attempted repair
I downloaded a stock-rooted 4.4.2 ROM from here and tried to flash it. It failed.
I also tried to flash via Heimdall, but initially could not find any stock ROMs for Heimdall for the Galaxy 8. (The driver utility that is included helped to get the phone recognized by Windows sporadically).
I decided to switch over to CWM touch recovery, which I flashed via ODIN (I was having issues with TWRP again and also could not get windows to recognize the device as a media device when I mounted USB storage). This worked after a couple tries and I was able to enter CWM. I attempted to flash the stock ROM but it failed. Either at that point or when I tried to mount data it returned an error that device did not have root. Again, it would only boot into CWM (on its own) or Download mode (with key combo). At some point around here I cleared the cache and dalvik (error) after it returned an error saying insufficient space when trying to flash ROM.
I dissected the .exe from the autoflash used in the beginning (stock unrooted 4.4.2) and used the contents (system.img, cache.img, hidden.img, tz.img, recovery.img and one other I do not remember) in Heimdall to create a Heimdall package. At this point I figured out I did not need to create the package, but just specify the individual files. I flashed. It appeared to complete System.img successfully and then failed. Tried again with the same result.
Now when I rebooted, it would enter download mode with the Key combo, but otherwise it booted instantly to an error screen to the effect that a firmware installation had failed and to use the repair function in Kies to fix. Kies still did not recognize it.
At this point, I figured I should stop. Currently I can get to the download screen or the error screen. The computer recognizes it but intermittently fails to install driver. Zadig.exe sees it as Gadget Serial. Sometimes Windows just sees it as SAMSUNG_Android, in which case drivers fail. Once or twice I got it to recognize it as Samsung USB Composite Device, but Kies would still not work.
That's all i have for now. If more information is needed, let me know and I will update the post when I get home from work tonight (this is from memory).
Thank you
UPDATE: last night I went home and was able to get it back to the point where I could flash TWRP or CWM recovery. If I try to flash Stock Recovery, it fails. A minor problem is that I cannot turn it off - it just turns it self on again, so the battery keeps running down.
I made a very noob mistake today. I was going to factory reset my Oneplus 3 in TWRP (recovery) and flash back to the stock rom but I accidentally checked off everything to be erased... which erased my current operating system, along with the stock rom I was going to install :crying:
Now im stuck with no OS, phone won't boot, can only get into recovery etc etc
I tried connecting it to the computer and clicking MOUNT in recovery, my PC detects it, but when I try to drag and drop the stock rom it just hangs there and the file transfer progress bar doesnt move.
What are my options ?
The phone is rooted
You can use sideload from twrp. Or you can put the zip you want to flash in a usb and flash it via otg.

Put the OOS you want to install on a flash memory and use it as OTG from TWRP
As mentioned above, sideload is the easiest way.
Simply follow the steps here:
https://twrp.me/faq/ADBSideload.html
You can transfer data from a pc in twrp so you have loads of options
Push it with ADB
Ex- "adb push (input_file_name) /sdcard/(output_file_name)"
I will try adb sideloading, i had tried that method a while back for installing a rom and had issues, i have windows 10.

Try reflashing twrp from fastboot
I had the same problem when I was trying to upgrade to OOS 4.0. The phone was stuck at bootscreen. I powered it off by holding power button for 10 seconds. I turned it on again and booted in recovery mode. Then I connected my OP3 to PC and I was able to copy the .zip file into the TWRP folder. In recovery mode I installed the latest firmware from the .zip file.
Maybe I should mention that the OS I'm using is Arch Linux. My PC instantly recognized my phone.
